Only one browser works now??

Funny thing happened today: put the PB to sleep like normal... later, woke it up and using Camino (my browser of choice since Safari was quitting on some sites), tried to get the internet, did not work, told me it was not connected to the internet.?. Looking in Network Preferences (set to Automatic) it said it was connected and showed the IP number; Looking further, it had all the numbers listed and was set to go. Nothing would take in Camino; tried Opera... no connection there either; tried SeaMonkey... no connection their either; tried Safari... IT WORKED! Went back to Camino... no connection. Now I'm back to using Safari (Camino has more speed).
My question is: what happened? Why is the internet connection there but ONLY Safari can connect to it? Did some setting in Camino go wacky? All by itself? While it was sleeping?
Or did it just get up on the wrong side of the bed ???

A bit of history here:
When I got my service provider (Comcast High Speed... was dial-up before that), I wanted to run it thru Airport Express for flexibility of my only PB at the time, this 15" PB. But could not set it up and make it work. On the phone with them, it had to be set up with a direct ethernet connection (first)(also the first setting in Network Preferences - labeled Comcast). Then, I hooked up the cable modem to the WiFi and set up Network Preferences for that - Comcast2. No problems with it, but left it in Automatic for which ever way was connected but moved Airport to the top of the list (over Built-in Ethernet). Then I got the 17" PB, and set that up as a Home Based Desktop with the Ethernet connection. No problems with either PB connecting. Later I got a Network Printer and had to get a Hub to sort it all out. As it is now, the 17" is connected with Built-in Ethernet to the Hub; while the cable modem is also going to the Hub; the Printer is also connected to the Hub as is the Airport Express. This system works well for the 17" PB being always on the desk and the 15" PB being Mobile. This final setup became Comcast3, with the printer included. All three are able to be selected 'individually' but when left on 'Automatic' Network Preferences finds the right one.
I did try the clone on the 17" Pb, connected by Ethernet, and it worked for all the browsers. So, just a minute ago, hooked up the 15" PB direct to the Ethernet and tried it under the Automatic Setting (first)... again, only Safari connected, the others did not. Then, put the Network Setting on Comcast (the original setting it was set-up with), and still only Safari connected. This last try, I had it direct to the cable modem, by-passing the Hub-Network.
It's like Safari is telling me it is not such a bad browser After-All, as Camino can not do it Now (nor can the others) . There seems to be something Deep in the Heart of, not Texas, but OSX that has put a stop to the others being able to connect on this 15" PB (while not the 17" PB, as the clone showed). And yes, for now, I am leaving the 15" PB connected hardwired (Ethernet) until I can find out what happened. The Airport WiFi does have WPA2 on it, and I can usually see 2 others in range, but have had no problems with channels or interference from them in the past.

  • It seems I cannot use Sky Go even if I use Firefox. The only one that works is IE 11.

    I was using Google Chrome, but it seems they do not support Silverlight which Sky Go use. I was told that Firefox would work. It doesn't. The only one that works is Internet Explorer 11, which is very slooow. Why can't I use Firefox to view Sky Go?

    My Sky homepage. If I want to watch cricket say, it come up with ' sky go unavailable at this present moment'. If I log on to my IE 11, sky go works Ok. I have the Silverlight add-on or plug-in whatever you call it.
    Still no joy in Firefox.

    You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.

  • 2 thunderbolt displays worked fine daisy chained, moved one to work in other room, now only one will work.  both work independantly or both plugged into my macbook pro.

    I have 2 thunderbolt displays and have had them daisy chained for months where I only would plug one into my macbook pro 15" retina and both displays have worked great.  The other day I moved one of them into the conference room, connected also a HDMI cord to a projector to do some work with staff on software design. 
    I brought my thunderbolt back into my office and plugged it back into the other thunderbolt dispay, then plugged the other display back into my macbook and started it up and now I can only get one to work daisy chained.  They both work great independantly or if both of them are plugged into my macbook pro, but not daisy chained any longer.
    Is there a setting I need to look at to maybe reset so that my macbook pro will use both thunderbolt displays daisy chained?
    Thanks for anyones advice and sharing any similar issues and how you fixed the issue.

    Hi there,
    The first thing that I would recomend is resetting the PRAM on your portable.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM

    If the issues persist, then you may need to force the device to detect displays.

    How can I detect displays?
    If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.

    Instead of guessing, start playing mplayer and some flash source (youtube or whatever) and post the output of  'fuser -v /dev/snd/*'.
    Is your mplayer using alsa? 'cat ~/.mplayer/config' might have the answer (if you use the config) or just check mplayer output:

  • Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

    Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
    First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
    5gb Ram
    I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
    I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
    The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
    Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
    I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
    So... Where to go from here.
    I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
    Hope someone can help.

    Anyone??
    When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
    Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
    I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

  • HD slideshow is the only one that works for me.. WHY??

    I have a new mac pro with lots of hd and ram 5GB.. so I don't think its my system.
    What I need to know is that I can make an acceptable slideshow if
    1) I lower the resolution of my photos from 3884x2600 to about 1024x1024
    2) I create a imovie 720hd or 1080i HD.
    ANY other format creates a lousy final picture quality when viewed on the TV. I get a shimmering, but not so noticible jaggies as some have posted. If I keep the photo still and not use KB.. the still images are ok, but not fantastic. The KB kills them. This seems opposite of what I have read of the bug in imovie6.
    Can anyone explain why if I use the HD formats for Imovie the photos turn out ok?
    I would like to keep them in a 4x3 format but can't if I use the HD formats. Is there a way to make it 4x3 after?
    Anyway.. I have done a lot of testing and this is the best I can get so far.

  • Only one channel working - fixable?

    Recently my ipod starting playing only one channel through headphones or a speaker jack - eg I can hear only whatever is coming through the left side speaker. I've verified that the problem is with the ipod, not the headphones. However, if I put pressure from a specific angle on the headphone cord right above where it connects to the ipod, both L and R channels work. This goes away again when the pressure is released.
    Has this happened to anybody else? Is it a fixable problem?
    Thanks!

    You need to replace the headphone jack on the iPod.
